The house of two young collectors in the heart of Milan

A project by co.arch studio

Interior refurbishment in via San Marco, near Brera Milan art district.

The challenge was to create an environment where important works of contemporary art and vintage furniture could harmonize within a Milanese building of the late sixties.

The project is inspired by the interiors of Milanese’s architecture masters, recovering the charming materials used by Portaluppi and Bottoni and the geometric yet sober decorations of Gio Ponti. co.arch’s architectural proposal is aimed at achieving a rational and functional home space but extremely sophisticated and refined furnishing and materials.

One of the most important concepts is the textural breaks: it is decided to keep the existing wooden floor, inserting a new one in blue and white cement tiles, keeping quite distinct the materials like a carpet that demarcates the areas.
